McAuliffe fought out of
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York and was one of the best lightweights
ever; He was one of only nine men to retire unbeaten over his entire
career; The others were Young Mitchell, Jimmy Barry, Rocky Marciano,
Laszlo Papp, Terry Marsh, Ji Won Kim, Ricardo Lopez and Sven Ottke

Jack was a wonderful
two-handed fighter who depended upon straight blows; A wicked,
hard-driven left jab and a left-right combination were his best punches;
He was also "cat-quick" on his feet

In his early ratings, Nat Fleischer ranked McAuliffe as the #5 All-Time
Lightweight; Jack was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1954
and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995
